Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own daily and weekly paid-channel operations across Meta, Google/YouTube, TikTok, Snap, and new platform tests.
  • Translate growth strategy and budget allocations into executable media plans by channel, market tier, objective, audience, and campaign type.
  • Build, traffic, and maintain campaigns, including targeting, bidding, budgets, naming conventions, UTMs, placements, creative mapping, and launch QA.
  • Monitor and optimize performance across CPI, CPM, CTR, CVR, install volume, reach, frequency, geo performance, and creative fatigue.
  • Deliver first-pass channel diagnostics: what changed, why we believe it changed, and what action should follow.
  • Keep budgets pacing cleanly and surface risks, opportunities, and material variances early.
  • Design disciplined tests across creative, audience, geography, placement, bidding strategy, and campaign objective.
  • Partner with creative and growth leads to traffic new assets quickly and translate performance signals into useful creative feedback.
  • Manage relationships with platform partners, troubleshoot account and delivery issues, and stay current on meaningful platform changes.
  • Maintain clear campaign documentation and operating standards so our work is consistent, auditable, and easier to learn from.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of hands-on paid acquisition, performance marketing, or media-buying experience, ideally for a consumer app, paid media agency, or digital marketplace.
  • Deep working experience in Meta Ads Manager and Google Ads, including app acquisition and YouTube campaigns.
  • Meaningful experience operating campaigns on TikTok; Snap experience is strongly preferred.
  • Experience managing substantial, multi-channel budgets with strong pacing and forecasting discipline.
  • Fluency in mobile acquisition measurement and attribution, including MMPs such as AppsFlyer, campaign taxonomy, UTMs, deep links, and event tracking.
  • Strong analytical command of CPI, CPM, CTR, CVR, frequency, install volume, cohort quality, and downstream engagement.
  • The ability to distinguish between an auction problem, a creative problem, a targeting problem, a tracking problem, and normal performance variance.
  • Experience creating test structures that produce interpretable results—not simply launching more variations.
  • Excellent attention to detail without losing sight of the business question behind the work.
  • Clear, concise communication and the confidence to surface misses, risks, and uncertainty early.

Preferred

  • Experience with geo-based media planning, DMA-level analysis, incrementality testing, or matched-market studies.
  • Experience with retargeting, reactivation, reach-and-frequency campaigns, or upper-funnel video.
  • Familiarity with BigQuery, Tableau, SQL, or similar analytics environments.
  • Experience marketing a two-sided marketplace or a product whose value depends on local density.
  • Experience working closely with creative teams, creators, or UGC production partners.

Benefits

  • health insurance, healthcare savings and spending accounts, retirement savings benefits (401(k) plan with match), basic and voluntary life insurance, disability benefits, and paid time off for sick leave, family and/or medical leave, vacation, and 12 company holidays. In regard to vacation time, OfferUp has a flexible vacation policy, and, in general, full-time, exempt employees will be expected to take 3-5 weeks (15-30 days) of pre-planned vacation time per year. Vacation needs are flexible and will naturally vary from year to year based on individual circumstances and business needs. In regard to sick time, all full-time employees (exempt and non-exempt) will be granted 12 days (96 hours) of sick time per year (pro-rated if the start date is other than January 1). Your recruiter can share more details about specific benefits during the interview process.

A16Z GAMES

Over the past decade, games have radically transformed from packaged entertainment to social network-like online services that scale like consumer technology companies. Today’s games also drive innovation across the entire consumer ecosystem through new methods of engagement, retention, and monetization. We believe that games will play a pivotal role in defining how we socialize, play, and work over the next century.Investing Themes:Game Studios: Today’s best games are continually updated online services whose players form an integral part of the game through multiplayer and user-generated content. These “games-as-a-service” have become rich, interactive social networks whose in-game player friendships rival those made in person. Games x Consumer: The rapidly growing number of gamers worldwide has created a thriving ecosystem of consumer apps to support them. As gaming becomes the top way people spend time, we believe some of the most innovative consumer companies will be built around player communities. Infrastructure: As games evolve into virtual worlds and online services, the demand for the tools and services needed to build great games will only continue to skyrocket. We also believe the coming metaverse will be built by games companies, using games technologies.
